The excursion train from Hartford to Twin Lakes, July 4, consisted of 12 cars and 2 locomotives. Every train arriving at the picnic grounds brought pleasure seekers, and it is estimated that nearly 1900 were present. Colts band of Hartford discoursed excellent music, and the dancing pavilion was well patronized as were also the boats, swings and refreshment stands. We hear of no accident or disturbance to mar the occasion.

 Canaan enjoys excellent railway facilities, and is also we'll provided with churches, schools, stores, hotels tele- graph, telephone and mail accommoda- tions, but is lacking iu dwelling houses. It is pleasant place to live, and will be still more desirable when the Pough keepsie bridge is completed. It is 8 pity that our capitalists do not build cottages to rent at reasonable figures and not compel worthy people to go elsewhere who would like to locate in Canaan.
 Monday afternoon, June 27, Q freight train, with one engine in front and another in the rear, narrowly es- capped colliding with the Housatonic express train standing at the station iu Bridgeport. It is said that the express train had been delayed by difficulty in coupling the engine to the train and consequently was standing there after the freight train was due, and yet the proper danger signals had not been dis played, but when the freight train was observed approaching, the porter of the parlor car frantically called to the pass engers to escape. During the stampede from the parlor car Mrs Lyman Dunn ing, of East Canaan, had her arm bro- ken near the wrist and the wrist also put out of joint and badly sprained.
